Most members of Congress are politicians. They're bores. They're damn boring. They have no imagination, and they don't know how to imagine the future.

More quotes by Ray Bradbury
The whole concept of higher education is negated unless the sole criterion used to determine if students qualify is the grades they score on standardized tests. Education is purely an issue of learning - we can no longer afford to have it polluted by damn politics. Leave pollution up to the politicians
Ray Bradbury
Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness.
Ray Bradbury
We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while.
Ray Bradbury
Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper.
Ray Bradbury
You've got to love libraries. You've got to love books. You've got to love poetry. You've got to love everything about literature. Then, you can pick the one thing you love most and write about it.
Ray Bradbury
Those who don't build must burn.
Ray Bradbury
The purpose of fiction is not to nail you to the ground as facts do, but to take you to the edge of the cliff and kick you off so you build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury
Do you know that books smell like nutmeg or some spice from a foreign land? I loved to smell them when I was a boy. Lord, there were a lot of lovely books once, before we let them go.
Ray Bradbury
The world doesn't give a damn about you unless you do something. Those are the rules I didn't make them. If you are lazy, if you don't get the work that you love done, the world won't care if you die tomorrow and go into the grave and are gone and forgotten forever.
Ray Bradbury
Those who don't build must burn. It's as old as history and juvenile delinquents.
Ray Bradbury
Nobody listens anymore. I can't talk to the walls because they're yelling at me, I can't talk to my wife she listens to the walls. I just want someone to hear what I have to say. And maybe if I talk long enough it'll make sense. And I want you to teach me to understand what I read.
Ray Bradbury
Why is it, he said, one time, at the subway entrance, I feel I've known you so many years? Because I like you, she said, and I don't want anything from you.
Ray Bradbury
Not to write, for many of us, is to die.
Ray Bradbury
Science and religion have to go hand in hand with the mystery, because there's a certain point beyond which you say, There are no answers.
Ray Bradbury
Facts quite often, I fear to confess, like lawyers, put me to sleep at noon. Not theories, however. Theories are invigorating and tonic. Give me an ounce of fact and I will produce you a ton of theory by tea this afternoon. That is, after all, my job.
Ray Bradbury
Life should be touched, not strangled.
Ray Bradbury
Joy is the grace we say to God.
Ray Bradbury
The answer to all writing, to any career for that matter, is love.
Ray Bradbury
A book is a loaded gun in the house next door...Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man?
Ray Bradbury
Who has more pockets than a magician? A boy. Whose pockets contain *more* than a magicians? A boy's.
Ray Bradbury
